카톡 채팅방 숨기기[Digital Today Reporter Choi Ji-yeon] Kakao announced on the 2nd that it had introduced the ‘quiet chat room’ function to KakaoTalk in its laboratory.
The quiet chat room is a chat room storage function that allows you to store and hide inactive one-to-one chat rooms and group chat rooms even if you do not leave. Notifications for hidden chat rooms are turned off and are not included in the badge count of the KakaoTalk app.
Users who have updated to the latest version of KakaoTalk can activate the quiet chat room feature in KakaoTalk Lab. If you long press or swipe the chat room and select ‘Archive’, the chat room will be moved to the archive. The chat room archive is displayed at the top of the chat tab, and notifications for chat rooms within the archive are automatically turned off.
Messages from archived chat rooms are displayed in the archive as gray numbers, and message numbers are not included in the overall badge count on KakaoTalk. The company explained that it is expected to reduce the stress of users who went on vacation and turned off KakaoTalk notifications, but were inconvenienced by additional badge counts or had trouble with message notifications piling up in inactive chat rooms.
Additionally, with this update, the chat room ‘quietly exit’ function has been officially reflected. Quiet Exit is a feature that has been activated by about 2 million people in the three weeks since the lab was introduced in May. Kakao reviewed stability for about three months and reflected it as an official feature in this update.
Yang Joo-il, head of Kakao’s KakaoTalk division, said, “We are adding new features and making improvements by reflecting user opinions that arise as the volume of conversations and the diversity of relationships increase.” He added, “We will continue to humbly accept the voices of users and make various improvements to make more improvements.” “We will continue to strive to provide good service,” he said.
